I'm gettin' the hang of this knitting thing.

This month's posts have been full of bad-knitting, stitch-dropping, gusset-ripping angst, so I am very happy to report that the past two days have been completely angst-free. In hope of keeping it that way, I've started a chart.


There's a box for each day of Ravelympics (not including Friday the 8th, at which point my plan still consisted of the phrase "slow and steady wins the race"), with space for me to note how many pattern repeats I did that day, how many I've done total, and whether the Reds won that day.

Obviously that last bit doesn't have anything at all to do with Ravelympics. The Reds had the day off yesterday, which was a bit of a relief, and they spent their day off trading Adam Dunn, which is NOT a bit of a relief. If they trade Brandon Phillips, I quit. You hear that, Walt Jocketty?! I'm not kidding!

Whoopsy! Apparently there's been a little angst, but not as regards the knitting. Dainty Bess now stands at 6 pattern reps, as well she should, and I'm feeling much better about this challenge than I did on Saturday, when I was dropping stitches and trying not to cry. The more I knit it, the more I like it. Thank you for the lovely comments!
